Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Volkswagen Tiguan than in the Honda HR-V, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Honda HR-V offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volkswagen Tiguan, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Honda HR-V as you will with the Volkswagen Tiguan, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Honda HR-V is a better financial choice over the Volkswagen Tiguan, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Honda HR-V is about the same width as the Volkswagen Tiguan. The Honda HR-V is slightly shorter than the Volkswagen Tiguan, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Honda HR-V has the same turning radius as the Volkswagen Tiguan, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Honda HR-V has a little less horsepower than the Volkswagen Tiguan.

Powertrain
The Honda HR-V has much lower torque than the Volkswagen Tiguan, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Honda HR-V and the Volkswagen Tiguan. The Honda HR-V has significantly less cargo capacity than the Volkswagen Tiguan.
